As of 1 May 2018 Dr Michael Bütter will become successor to the incumbent Chief Executive Officer Sascha M. Wilhelm, who will leave the Company as of 30 April 2018 in best mutual consent. Sascha M.

The 47-year old is currently a Member of the Extended Management Board as well as Group General Counsel and SVP HR & Communication of the S-DAX of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange listed Scout24 AG and Managing Director of Immobilien Scout GmbH. Before, he was responsible – as a member of the Management Board (Chief Investment Officer and Chief Legal Officer) of Ferrostaal Group – for the successful exit of the private equity investor. In his function as long-standing member of the Executive Board of Deutsche Annington Immobilien SE (Vonovia SE) as well as its Group General Counsel he lead, amongst others, the 6 billion euro CMBS refinancing and the complex IPO of the later DAX company to success. Dr Michael Bütter serves currently as a member of the supervisory boards of ASSMANN BERATEN+PLANEN AG (Deputy Chairman), ADO Properties S.A.

Micha Blattmann, Chairman of CORESTATE’s Supervisory Board: “We are convinced that Dr Michael Bütter has the management skills and experience to develop CORESTATE Group into an internationally successful investment house in a stable and consistent manner. The diversification of our product range and the ongoing digitalization combined with a balanced consolidation strategy are the primary value drivers of our strategy. We would like to thank Sascha Wilhelm very much for his continued commitment over the past years, with which he has successfully helped to develop CORESTATE into a leading investment manager and co-investor in the real estate sector with excellent prospects.”

Dr Michael Bütter comments his new role: “I am fully dedicated to add value and to expand CORESTATE’s product and international investor base and increase the Company’s value. CORESTATE is extremely well-positioned to further drive the consolidation process within our industry. Jointly with my colleagues on the Executive Board I would like to make CORESTATE the leading real estate investment manager.”
